defined as follows. cit is noces-
sary, in this Department, in order
to promote the efficiency, and re-
medy the defects Of the Police
force, to require of each member of
the force that he shall abstain from
all participation in partizan politics,
beyond the reasonable exercise Of
the voting franchise, If Police
officials arc permitted to actively
intermeddle in the conduct of po-
Iitical canvass, the time thus spent
by them must be at the expense of
their official usefulness. 1t is there
fore expected of each subordinate
official of this Department, that he
shall in no way identify himself
with the electoral contest now about
to take place, nor take any part,
(further than to cast his vote in
the conduct of the campaign. IT is
not intended, nor will it be permit
ted, that the members of the force
shall be restricted in the free exercise
of their rights as voters. Let each one
understand that he is at liberty to
vote for whomsoever he prefers,
without fear of the consequences.
l shall expect any infringeme.Sntr OF
this right to 20 nc reported to me,
, while any violation of the foregoing
instructions as to non-participation
in politics, will render the person so
offending liable to summary dismis-
sal from. his Office"
The foregoing is just, proper,
and wise. Not only should the en-
ployees of the Attorney-General's
Department keep out of active po-
litics, but, in our opinion, every
employee of the Government. Here
all offices are filed by appointment,
and not by election, and this is a
special reason why oflce-holders
should abstain from politics. If
they cannot keep out of politics,
they should keep out of the service.
In the British system, which in
many points corresponds with onr
own, it is required of every civil
servant to eschew politics, and if he
cannot or will moi cschew politics
he is required to forego the service.
A wise arrangement, which works
satisfactorily.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1887-08-02
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CIRCULAR.

The Attorney-General has adj
dressed circular letter "to the
Marshal of the Kingdom, the Sher-
ifs of the different Islands, and
other members of the Police Force"
The assurance is given that emo
official shall be removed from his
position who shows himself honest
and respectable, is competent to
fully discharge, and gives his dill
gent attention to the duties of his
office" This should be satisfac-
tory to the employees of that De-
partment, and certainly any man in
the service who falls short of those
requirements should be dismissed
in the interests of the public good.
With regard to new appointments,
"a prudent regard for the due
effectiveness of the Police will de-
mand that none be appointed to
positions upon the force, except
such as possess the necessary quail
fications of sobriety, intelligence,
firmness of purpose, purity of char
acter and, above all, that degree of
common sense and discretion, with
out which a police officer may be-
come an oppressive nuisance, in
stead of an enlightened protector.
The Marshal, Sheriffs and their De-
puties are especially cautioned
against recommending or appoint
ing any subordinates, who fail in
these requisites. l."
The political attitude required of
the employees Of the Department is

ANOTHER NUISANCE.

The high iron fence around the
Commercial Saloon, at the corner of
Nuuanu and Beretania streets, is
the occasion for a very disagreeable
nuisance. People whose business
calls them TO pass that corner have
endured it with degree of silence
for long time past. But it is not
because they have not appreciated
its existence. Men generally find it
disagrecable to complain, but we
must suggest to the proprietor of
the premises that he take pains to
abate the nuisance, and TO the
proper authorities that they take
the proper steps to compel such
action if necessary.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1887-08-02
MISUNDERSTANDING.

The Board of Health, at its meet
ing yesterday, decided TO continue
in its employ Mr.. w. j. Roche, in
the capacity of Secretary. 1t is
understood that, in pursuance of the
policy of retrenchment, the salary
of the Office will be reduced from
the previous figure. The gentle
man now appointed to the position
has been acting secretary ever since
the present Board was appointed,
and indeed did considerable of the
actual work of the Office for a long
period before. So that the formal
appointment is in q sense a confirm
alton of an employee who had serv-
ed a period of probation, and had
shown his adaptabiity to and cap
ability for the position. The Board
of Health has, by its action in this
matter, evinced its superiority to
political and party considerations, land
in making the appointment kept solely
in view efficiency and general suita-
bility. TO us who have always adj
vocated this as the only proper con-
sideration in filling all offices in the
public service, the course of the
Board is gratifying and confidence
inspiring, and it certainly receives
the approval of disinterested and
patriotic men.
